Lately: Happy birthdays (and deflated meringues) in broken German;

Drinks of various strengths, and art adorning the walls of Malian galleries;

The regular, every day living that keeps the gears oiled;

A variety of welcomes;

Zoo trips for kids and grown-ups alike;

And a mask for every mood.

Bamako’s National Zoo is worth a trip!

Inexpensive entry for Malians and foreigners alike, including regular entry and access to the reptile and aquatic houses.

Lots of special events, too!
